What is Gap Bridging?

If you're not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, but not rich enough to be able to afford private health insurance, then you're in what we call the 'Healthcare Gap'. We have developed a number of solutions which do not require insurance, Medicaid or Medicare, but which you can use for very little money.

Even if you do have insurance, your copay or deductible might be very high, so there's also 75gmp for you too!

​There's a disturbing practice amongst some clinics in town to TURN AWAY patients who don't have Medicaid.

This kind of cherry-picking can only backfire. The fact is that if your staffing is a sunk cost, it shouldn't matter how low they pay. The fact is that they faster than most commercial insurers. So if we've disproved points #1 and #2, that only leaves #3. What's more, the clinic operators KNOW that the first two points are just Alternative Facts.

Point #3 is blatant racism, which means that clinics that deny Medicaid have a racist policy with regard to what patients they see.

Even the wealthy patients, who can afford private insurance, won't feel great about giving business to a Medicaid-hating clinic. I don't know many rich folks who would continue to go to a place that they know to be bigoted.

So, let's share this and spread the word, and maybe, just maybe, it'll persuade those Medicaid-hating clinics to see the error of their ways. Maybe it'll help the 'commercial payer patients' whom these clinics crave after, make a decision to only go to a place that treats ALL humans equally.

You shouldn't go to a clinic that wants to extract every penny it can out of you. You should only go to a clinic that genuinely wants to help people, no matter how rich or poor you are.

Call any urgent care company you like (we're not going to call out names) and ask them a simple question "Do you accept Medicaid?"

Not just Urgent Care and Primary Care!

We strongly believe that PREVENTION REALLY IS BETTER THAN CURE.
